Hi.
I have done an executive MBA from SP Jain Mumbai and currently working as a management consultant. Have an IT systems background as well. I am looking to give the gmat and apply for the ivy league colleges in order to take a shot at rising up the hierarchy and moving more to strategy and general management. Given my work schedule and family constraints I am looking at admissions during April of 2020.
I need advice on which course should I complete from the ivies. By 2020 I would be having close to 10 years of experience and I would be eligible for both the executive MBA as well as the 2 year courses. Which would provide a better value add? I am not looking at costs now.
Really appreciate if I can get guidance on this.
Thanks

Hi Gopal,
Thank you for your note. With 10 years of work experience, you are really going to be above the range for FTMBAs in the U.S. The middle 80% of the student body at most full-time U.S. programs has 3-7 or 3-8 years of work experience, with the average hovering around five. There are a handful of students in MBA classes with 10ish years of experience, but those spots often go to applicants with unique backgrounds that explain why they are pursuing a FTMBA at that juncture of their career (e.g., someone who spent 10 years in the military).
So your circumstances lend themselves more toward part-time or executive MBAs. But you should keep in mind that if you're based in India, PTMBAs and EMBAs are almost always considered "part-time study" in the U.S., and as a result, they do not qualify you for a student visa. International students in PTMBA or EMBA programs need to be in the U.S. under a separate visa.
These are very important logistical matters to consider as you continue to evaluate your options. (Beyond that, if this is indeed something you want to pursue, then I recommend really trying to boost your GMAT score. A 570 GMAT will significantly limit your options. And the schools you'd have any chance at getting into with a 570 might not be worth the investment. That's up to you.)
Thanks,
Greg

Thanks Greg. This helps. Considering my time horizon I am convinced that I would like to fit in the full time executive courses.
This helps. Now to focus on an improved GMAT score. Thanks once again.
